Richiebee,
I didn't realize you were at the seminar on Sunday.
I was absolutely shocked that Jerkens used Santos back. I guess most of the world saw the ride he gave him last time, and over-reacted, making him 2-1. With Santos from the outside, I had to toss him. Unfortunately, I didn't come up with the winner.
Jerry was saying that one of the NY trainers (I believe Hushion), commented that he felt that Jimmy Jerkens was the top trainer in NY right now. I guess that could be so, because his horses usually run their races, but jeez, you would think if he was the BEST in NY, he would use Santos less. I will take Chantal Sutherland over Santos, espeically on speed horses on the grass. The Santos chokehold on horses is lethal. He should consider a career in that ultimate fighting stuff, when his mounts start to dry up........
